***Update***
I have moved to Brussels where I live with my girlfriend in a one-bedroom apartment in St Giles area. Occasionally, we might be able to host people at our couch or airbed.

Hello guys,

I am Niko, originally from Greece, living in the UK since 2011. I came to Manchester to do my Masters in Project Management and then stayed because I loved it!
I spent part of 2015 and entire 2016 working full time in Manchester and studying for an MBA in Madrid (part time). That squeezed a lot my free time, a fact the led to a number of other changes. Therefore, the time has come to travel more, meet new people and learn about your experiences and languages!

In February 2017, I moved at the outskirts of Birmingham, very close to the University campus.

I grew up in a small village with two other siblings so I have learnt to share everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and exchange experiences with them. That will help me become a better person.

Make new friends around the world who can then come and visit me wherever I am.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz, Funk, Soul, House

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have studied 3 degrees in 3 different countries (Greece, UK and Spain). This has made me more empathetic and I consider myself as a person that understands other people needs.

2019 Update: I managed to see the Northern lights for the consecutive nights in Iceland. What a time!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an engineer and work for a company that sells tools. Therefore I am very good at DIY and all kinds of repairs.

I have registered for the classic marathon in Athens, therefore running and healthy eating has become an important part of my life.

Cooking is my hobby and I enjoy doing it for other people (please do the dishes at the end cause I dislike that part)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am quite flexible and sharing; only requirement is to respect the place and the house rules.
